Affliction Comes Up Trumps

Fedor Emelianenko is reportedly set to defend his newly won World Association of Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) heavyweight championship belt on Oct. 11 against another former UFC champ Andrei Arlovski.

After watching Affliction’s first show I can’t help but be excited. Not since the fabled days of Pride FC in Japan have such explosive heavyweight match-ups been possible. The list of fighters on Affliction’s Banned card was like a who’s who of ex-UFC talent with many moments within the fights qualifying as highlight reel material. It seems the management style and treatment of MMA fighters by UFC is starting to catch up with the Ultimate Fighting Championship… Read more

Predictions for Elite XC: Unfinished Business

Elite XC will be hosting their second event to be broadcast on CBS this Saturday night. There will be 3 championship belts on the line, headlined by the much anticipated rematch between middleweight champion “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler and challenger Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith. Their first bout was an extremely entertaining battle that was cut short by an accidental thumb to the eye of Smith and was ruled a No Contest. In the welterweight division, Jake Shields will take on Nick “The Goat” Thompson for the vacant welterweight title. In the final title fight of the night, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva will fight Justin Eilers for the vacant heavyweight championship. The other two main card attractions feature a female bout between Shayna Baszler and Cristiane “Cris” Cyborg and a welterweight bout between hometown hero Nick Diaz and Thomas “Wildman” Denny… Read more

Whos next for Anderson Silva?

Since making his debut in June of 2006, Anderson Silva has torn through the UFC’s middleweight division. He has dismantled every single opponent he has faced so far inside the octagon including Chris Leben, Rich Franklin twice (the first time was to win the middleweight title), Nate Marquardt and Dan Henderson to name a few. Now that he has wiped out the 185lb. class, the only next logical step for Anderson was to move up and compete in the light heavyweight division… Read more

Mirko CroCop

Mirko CroCop, today, announced that not only is he not retiring from competition he is also returning to Tokyo, Japan to fight.

At one time the Croatian fighter was the most feared striker in mixed martial arts after making a successful transition from K-1. However beyond his first outing in the UFC against Eddie Sanchez, who CroCop staked down and demolished in the fashion fans had come to expect, CroCop has struggled with disappointing back to back losses. The first coming spectacularly against Gabriel Gonzaga ironically via a high kick to the head, CroCop’s own most dangerous weapon, which rendered CroCop unconscious before he even hit the octagon floor.

CroCop still has fights left on his contract with the UFC so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. It seems few fighters have been able to extricate themselves from the UFC without a certain amount of mud slinging and bad blood. Except for his first fight CroCop never looked comfortable on the UFC stage. His home always seemed to be in the ring and in Japan. I personally can’t say I’m disappointed. CroCop has been one of the most exciting fighters to watch over the years and I’m happy to just watch him fight. Wherever and against whoever. If its in K-1 Heroes or World Victory Road with the best of Japanese theatrics so much the better. We may even see CroCop involved in M-1 Global cross-promoted fights. CroCop vs Fedor 2?

CroCop to Return To Japan!
